The Authentic Process Healing Institute presents
Map for Living: A Lost and Found JourneyFebruary 4th, 5th and 6th

This weekend workshop experience is focalized by Dr. Michael Picucci along with Barry Lipscomb and the Institute community

Change and uncertainty surrounds us and we need new solutions! Let us support and assist you in making the changes you desire in 2011.

In the midst of this uncertainty, you may be experiencing feelings of being stuck in your current situation, or have a desire for something not yet realized. You may be searching for more purpose in your life, yearning to know who you are in a real and spiritual sense, or you may long to connect with others in a more meaningful way. We have found these yearnings to be universal and have developed a model of holism framed in empowerment, creativity and respect for life.

Setting our sites on these desires, we embark on the journey towards holism – where we begin to realize these desires in our lives. Our approach is direct, clearing any limiting connection with our past often without revisiting the story or re-experiencing the associated pain. We create a grounded connection that guides us more gracefully through the challenges in our lives and along the journey to the future we desire. From this place we are able to access our own inner wisdom that helps remove the blocks and eliminate the barriers along this journey. We find ourselves on a newly anchored foundation with principles for stepping out into the unknown.

“This work opens up new vistas for all of us who seek inspiration for implementing our potential; to heal from life’s traumas and to be rewarded with the benefits of fully engaging with our desires and senses in the world around us.” – Dr. Barbara E. Warren, Psy.D., Director at Hunter College, Public Health & Non-Profit Consultant

This is our first in a series of workshops introducing you to the fruits of our model of holism–the rewards from this work that will begin to manifest in your life starting with a deeper relationship with your self. Our model illuminates the destination, these fruits, and maps the journey. Focalizing provides the means to organically travel there and brings ease to this transformative process.

This first workshop is a lost and found experience where we will explore our losses and along the way realize the wisdom there is to be gained. By suspending our everyday thinking, we can clear the past to create space for the future we desire. We will celebrate the diversity of our journeys and discover how we can meet future challenges with grace and wisdom.

“Dr. Picucci’s research is a generous offering to all who are on a healing journey in life. He presents a powerful map for navigating this terrain. His work is honest, insightful, rich and provocative in its integration of mind, body, and spirit. More than a map, it is a powerful invitation to healing.” – Thomas Herington, MD, Psy.D, Clinical Faculty Univ. of Calif. San Francisco

Journey of Healing: Sustaining Weekly Experience

Every Tuesday evening beginning February 8th
Every Thursday evening beginning February 10th
(for Young Adults 21-31ish)
Location to be announced

We have found the awakening experience of a workshop can be further integrated and sustained within an ongoing community setting. The Institute offers a weekly group where we continue to explore the tangible experiences of holism. This setting provides a means of accessing and expressing our inherent personal collective healing powers. There is a group especially for Young Adults.

“Through Focalizing and other visualization techniques, I find myself able to finally let go of the mental debris that prevented me from building a more solid foundation. I am now able to make positive, transformative changes to become more of my authentic self.” – workshop participant

Focalizing

Focalizing is a dynamic and effective process, introduced by Dr. Michael Picucci, that allows us to respectfully set aside familiar thoughts and feelings and instead access our innate intelligence. It can benefit anyone who is in a crisis of consciousness, in a state of feeling stuck, or who feels trapped by circumstances that life presents. By reconnecting us with a natural resource that conveys new perspectives, it often illuminates previously unseen possibilities for moving forward with grace. In learning how to transform overwhelming life situations we can suspend our everyday thinking mind to a timeless source of change. Focalizing allows us to develop a newly enlightened intelligence that becomes integrated into the very fabric of our being.

Authentic Process Healing Institute

Authentic Process Healing (APH) is a growth and healing curriculum – a paradigm that integrates body, mind, and spirit in the journey toward wholeness. It is deeply connected with the felt senses of the body, embracing inner wisdom to guide and heal our self-realization process. Our work is based in peer-led community where healing is grounded in authentic process which is simply the practice of being real.

Our Staged Model of Holism provides a roadmap for living by illuminating the destination and mapping the journey to get there. We connect more genuinely with ourselves through Focalizing, a technique for setting aside ordinary thinking to access our own inner wisdom. This healing method fosters a graceful release of outdated thinking, addictions and all.

We view growth, healing, creation, dissolution and renewal as ongoing, living processes. Thus, APH uses the symbol of the tree as a living map to illustrate both the journey and its ecosystem. Holism – the fruit of the tree – is a condition that extends far beyond the curative concept of having recovered from something. Instead, it is the recovery of personal wholeness and transpersonal connection. It is a feeling of being whole and complete in oneself, with the cosmos, nature, and all humanity.
